RU aims to improve offensive output after opener

Junior midfielder Jenny Vlahos scored twice on both of her shots in the Knights’ season-opener Tuesday against Manhattan. She added two caused turnovers and a team-high four groundballs. The rest of Rutgers struggled offensively.

Coming off of Tuesday’s season-opening home win against Manhattan, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team is assessing what it needs to improve on.

In order to stay on the winning track, the consensus among the squad is that the offensive production needs to increase.

After the Scarlet Knights scored only six goals against the Jaspers, it is apparent that more output is needed from the attack line going forward.

“In the first half we really weren’t working together as an attack,” said junior midfielder Jenny Vlahos, who scored two goals in the game.

The Manhattan defense stifled the Scarlet Knights for much of the contest, but they were able to take advantage of their shots off of free positions throughout the game.
